Raja Todar Mal acquired new regulations [zavabit] from the scribes [navisindagan] of Iran, and the government offices then were reorganized as they were there in vilayat [Iran].” Persian was thereafter on the ascendant, and it was not simply the royal household and the court which came to bear the Iranian impress.
Persian grammars and commentaries on idioms, phrases, and poetical proverbs show their authors’ keen interest, extensive research, and unprecedented engagement in the development of Persian in India. Underpinning these developments was undoubtedly the figure of the “ideal” or “perfect” munshi, which many of these men aspired to be.

 Throwing Candies to the Farmers
First, let us discover the motivation behind the fanfare of announcing a special package that has nothing special in it except the suspension of the powers of the banks, ZTBL to be precise, to arrest defaulters of agricultural loans through special provisions in the Revenue Laws for recovery of loans as arrears of land revenue.
This was a draconian mechanism that utilised the efficiency of Raja Todar Mal's system of land revenue collection to cover up the inefficiency of ZTBL.
The economic survey 2003-04 indicates that agriculture sector is becoming the Achilles heel of the economy - stagnation has set in since early nineties.
